Goodbye Google - I self-host everything now on 4 tiny PCs in a 3D printed rack (CaptainRedsLab) - Lemmy.World

Just came across this post on Reddit (yetch, I feel sullied and unusual) and am sharing it because…god damn…that’s the endgame right here - https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1rmfwoa/goodbye_google_i_selfhost_everything_now_on_4/ [https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1rmfwoa/goodbye_google_i_selfhost_everything_now_on_4/] If you’re on here CaptainRedsLab, that’s an amazing rig. Nb: I am not the creator of this project, I have no affiliation with them and I cannot answer any questions based on their build. I just think it’s cool as a shit and am sharing. YMMV

You don’t need an amazing rig to do this. Don’t get fooled by the content creators with their sponsored content. Learn and buy only after researching what you need. Build for your own needs not to some crazy spec someone on the YouTube tells you need. A simple old pc with right software and working backup solution is all you really need. Just learn how to make it work safely.

Of course. I posted this for inspiration, because he walks it through step by step. As for crazy spec…well…you tell me

• 12U KWS Rack V2 (3D printed — designed by Ilan Kushnir) • Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q Cluster (3x nodes running Proxmox) • Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q running pfSense (router/firewall) • Terramaster D5-310 HDD Enclosure (12TB + 18TB + NVMe SSDs) • 10-Port 2.5G/10G Ethernet Switch • Google Coral USB Accelerator (AI inference)

Probably only the 4th one down is the exxy one…and someone one should tell him the Coral USB accelerator is for Vision not inference (IIRC).
